Podcasts about matthew 5:27-30

What did Yeshua mean when he said looking at a woman with lustful intent is adultery in the heart? Was he setting an impossible standard—or affirming the Tenth Commandment against coveting? This powerful teaching explores Matthew 5:27–30 with Torah context and clarity, addressing the heart behind sexual sin. In this teaching, we unpack Yeshua's words in Matthew 5 about lustful intent. Many have interpreted this passage as setting an unattainable moral bar—but does that reflect what the Torah and Yeshua actually say? By examining the language of coveting in Exodus 20, the grammar of Matthew, and related Scripture from James and Genesis, we see that Yeshua is affirming an existing commandment, not raising the bar to impossible heights. This message also speaks clearly to the issues of pornography, inner desires, and modern application—calling believers to redirect their hearts and intentions toward righteousness. Spiritual Takeaway -  Yeshua isn't condemning desire itself—he's calling us to align our hearts with Torah, refusing to covet what is forbidden and walking in holiness by the Spirit.

Matthew 5:27-30. Jesus describes the serious and sacred beauty of our sexual desire, inviting us to return to the goodness of our sexual desire that we might honor our own bodies and that of others.

Some of the teachings of Jesus are hard teachings. They challenge us to look at God, at ourselves and to make an honest evaluation of how we live. Today's passage is no exception. Join us as we gain a better understanding of God's view on adultery, lust, and doing whatever it takes to save oneself from hell.
